A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding
up a $20.00 bill. In the room of 200, he asked,"Who would like this $20
bill?" Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give
this $20 to one of you but, first, let me do this. He proceeded to crumple
the $20 dollar bill up.

He then asked, "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were
up in the air. "Well", he replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped
it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe.
He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. "Now, who still wants it?"
Still the hands went into the air.

"My friends, we have all learned a very valuable lesson.
No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not
decrease in value. It was still worth $20. Many times in our lives, we
are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make
and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless.
But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose
your value. Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless
to those who DO LOVE you."

"The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who
we know, but by WHO WE ARE. You are special - Don't EVER forget it."

If you do not pass this on, you may never know the lives
it touches, the the hurting hearts it speaks to, or the hope that it can
bring.

Count your blessings, not your problems.

Never be afraid to try something new.

And remember: amateurs built the ark .. professionals
built the Titanic. If God brings you to it - He will bring you through
it. God will either lighten your load or He will strengthen your
back.

Prayer: Lord I love You and I need You; come into
my heart today. Without You, I can do nothing.
